Ratio Data: Understanding Pitfalls and Knowing When to Standardise

Behavior: Knowing When to Walk Away, Knowing When to Run

A new model has been proposed indicating that humans and other animals weigh the metabolic cost of pursuit in deciding how fast to move toward a given reward, providing a powerful framework for understanding behavior.

Knowing What to Imitate and Knowing When You Succeed

If we are to build robots that can imitate the actions of a human instructor, the robotics community must address a variety of issues. In this paper, we examine two of these issues. First, how does the robot know which things it should imitate? Second, how does the robot know when its actions are an adequate imitation of the original? We further describe an on-going research effort to implement...

Knowing when to let go

uring meiosis I, some mechanism must allow homologous chromosomes to separate while keeping sister chromatids paired until meiosis II. How does a cell make this distinction? On page 219, Rogers et al. propose that in C. elegans the aurora-B kinase AIR-2 is largely responsible for ensuring that cohesion between chromosomes breaks down at the proper place and time. The authors also identified add...

Knowing What to Explain and When

We have argued elsewhere that user goals should be taken into account when deciding what kind of explanation of its results a CBR system should give. In this paper, we propose the use of an Activity Theory based methodology for identifying different user goals and expectations towards explanations given by a system supporting a work process.
